Ingredients

• 16 oz Cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup Canned pumpkin puree
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 1 tsp Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 tsp Ground ginger
• 0.25 tsp Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 3 Large eggs
• 1 Graham cracker crust (9-inch, pre-made or homemade)
• 0 Whipped cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the canned pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground nutmeg, and salt to the cream cheese. Mix until fully combined and smooth.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Pour the cheesecake batter into the pre-made graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 6

Place the cheesecake on the middle rack of the preheated oven. If desired, place a baking dish filled with water on the lower rack to prevent cracks in the cheesecake.

Step 7

Bake for 80-90 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. The top may puff up but will settle as it cools.

Step 8

Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature for about 1 hour.

Step 9

Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to fully set.

Step 10

Slice and serve the cheesecake chilled, topped with whipped cream if desired.
